Here's a favorite alteration of
mine. It turned out beautiful,
and we didn't need that zipper
after all!! It is more beautiful
now that when she put it on
the first time. Thank you
Rebecca for trusting me to
take apart your perfectly new
wedding gown!!

This is Anna. She saw a simple, sweetheart neckline
ballroom gown with a fabulous long sleeved jacket,
embellished with pearls and sequins. I found the gown to
buy and made the lace jacket from illusion, then appliqued
the whole thing. It buttoned up the back and was so pretty!
Thank you, Anna for trusting me with a picture and my
promise that it could be done!

Another GREAT dress that I
was trusted to make a lace
up, then sew red beads in a
bold pattern with the existing
beadwork. Stunning for
Homecoming!

| This precious Homecoming Queen was having a hard time finding a dress worthy of a Queen, so we decided to Make her dress. It was 2 piece with an embroidered and beaded top, lettuce leaf edged chiffon skirt and she was awesome! |
Before
| This beaded drop-waist had to be taken in from the waist down. Which neant take beads off, take it up, take the skirt up, repleat, rebead. It turned out very smooth, as you can see. |
| This dress already had great beaded lace, So i followed the existing pattern with 3 various sizes of red beads. it was awesome, and I have used this technique many times over. It makes a striking dress!! |
| See the Bridesmaid page for Flowergirl Ideas |
| This dress we took the sleeves off, took it up in the shoulders and took it up in the bodice and waist by about 8 sizes! Taking off the sleeves updated the dress, made a huge difference and kept her from buying a new dress. It had a huge train and just turned out beautiful. |
| I made this ice blue satin dress with a great silver sash that draped down in the back. I hope to get better pictures you can see it's A-line and even had nice straps but they were really pretty. Maybe I'll get a better picture from the bride soon! |
I found this picture of Tessa and
baby Jovie, back in our store in
